Morphology

stager = stage (opaque) = stage + er

Although the form looks like stage + '-er', the modern sense 'experienced person' is a lexicalized historical extension and is not directly recoverable for most learners.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember stager meaning 'experienced person' is to think of someone who has been on many stages ('places where people perform or meet'). An 'old stager' is a veteran who has seen many events, which is why the word means a person with long experience.
